Birthday Bash

We decided to throw one big end-of-summer bash to celebrate their birthdays!! I’m pretty sure we’ve hit the golden years of parenting...no more babies, independent kids, & the best part - they actually still think we’re cool & want to be around us! I think we had just as much fun as the kids did! Peace out summer break!

Double Digits

We’ve officially hit double digits!! ✋🏼✋🏼 Maeli is obsessed with animals & has begged for a hamster every day for the last year. We told her no & convinced her that she would never get a pet. When her bday rolled around we wrapped a couple of crappy dollar store toys we knew she wouldn’t like & gave them to her as her “big gifts.” The look of disappointment on her face was almost unbearable. We then called her into the other room & surprised her with a hamster. What these videos don’t show are the tears that were welling in her eyes as we were waiting for Ryan to call her into the other room. (I know, our kids are going to need some serious therapy.) But really, we couldn’t be more thankful for this kind-hearted, beautiful girl of ours! Happy 10th baby girl!!

All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go

All dressed up with nowhere to go! Really hoping I can retire from this teaching gig in a few short weeks. Until then, it’s us against the world of distance learning tech-issues!
